Article/advert suggesting that synthetic brushes could overtake badger. I'm not sure I want to be part of that society!
I certainly think a synthetic has it's place in shaving. I like the softer feel when I am using a warm scuttle with a tube soap. To me it works better. To be honest, I have several customers that prefer a synthetic made for them over badger.

Badger consistency can be a bit unpredictable too. I order alot of silvertip knots to either re-knot or build a brush and I have gotten in the past some that just aren't the same from the same seller. I have had to find a consistency there for sure and have sourced what I think is now. Whereas, synthetics have always been totally consistent for me. But I still like a badger for general everyday shaving for sure.
